When Carbuzz did some window shopping bee Porsche’s website, it realized that Porsche had pulled the 911 GT3 from its order books. A few emails later, CarBuzz heard from the automaker that the GT3 was gone, and, “For the 2025 model year, the 911 Turbo and Turbo S models, as well as the GT3 RS, are still available, (along with) the new 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera GTS (992.2).” That means we can officially wait for the updated 992-series 911 GT3, which is expected to launch later this year for 2025. Spies in Europe have been following the progress of the upcoming GT3, and recently spotted a recent example at the Nürburgring showing off a redesigned wing.
Little details have leaked about what’s to come; we’re likely looking at a minor nip/tuck. It’s thought the front and rear fascias could be smoothed out for aerodynamic purposes, in addition to adopting the headlights, taillights and trim revealed on updated Carrera models like the hybrid GTS. The 2024 GT3 will make 502 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque from its naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six; potential power increases are predicted to come around the 510-horsepower mark, if it ever comes. Inside, the cluster is said to go fully digital, retiring the last analog gauge, that famed tachometer.
The next few years will bring a series of updated models at the top of the 911 lineup. Porsche may make the GT3 more pliable in order to subtly emphasize the car’s everyday capabilities and differentiate it from the 2026 911 GT2 RS. YouTube channel Car Spy Medial also the upcoming GT2 RS captured at the ‘Ring. The future track monster looks like the current GT3, but sings a baritone note with its twin-turbo flat-six as opposed to the free-breathing, high-revving contralto of the GT3.
There are also refreshed versions of the 911 Turbo, Turbo S and GT3 RS in the works, all of which are due for release in 2026. Motor Authority believes Porsche has a new turbocharged special on the way, possibly called the Turbo S Touring. Similar to the Turbo-based 2023 911 Sport Classic, this one ditches the side intakes and fixed rear spoiler, and could come with rear-wheel drive instead of all-wheel drive. The Turbo is in line to get its version of the electrified powertrain that debuted with the GTS T-Hybrid, hybrid stickers on the mysterious prototype hint at its origins and the expectation that the only gearshift option will be an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic.
